Insider Brief

Classiq and Hatch completed a proof-of-concept quantum chemistry project on AWS that demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical workflow for estimating molecular binding energy.

The project combined classical Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with a Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) using Classiq’s platform and Amazon Braket as the quantum execution pathway.

The work was conducted through Hatch’s Dimension X program and highlights Singapore’s efforts to evaluate practical quantum computing applications for real-world challenges.

PRESS RELEASE — Classiq and Hatch today announced the completion of a quantum-classical computational chemistry proof-of-concept (PoC), executed via Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Braket, that demonstrated a workflow for estimating molecular binding energy, a key step in understanding how small molecules interact with protein targets.
